LeadingEdge Personnel

I was very excited when I arrived to register and after going through the application process. Work was offered to me right away (temp work, which was good for me). I KNOW clients were pleased with me and my work as well LE b/c they kept offering me work and clients requested I return. Then I was offered a long term temp job for which I interviewed. Unfortunately, like too many companies the work location was not upfront about the actual tasks. Usually, they are upfront about tasks or culture but not about both. This place offered no insight the culture. This place was chaotic. I understand they may not have wanted to say that word but some sort of information may have been a helpful heads up. There was no structure, I was not given online access to the places I needed to go to do my job yet I would get emails asking about my progress. AND they had over a week to put into motion the process to get that access for me. I chose to quit. I gave a 2 week notice. I met with the manager, this manager thanked me for the notice, for my input, and told me to please consider applying in the future for other positios in different departments at their company website. LeadingEdge treated me as if I had committed a horrible crime and blacklisted me (based on the fact that they niw refuse to eork with me). I am a good candidate for practically any office setting. A recruiter angrily DEMANDED to know why I wanted to leave the job. I told herbut she seemed to not comprehend and kept demanding an answer as iif she was goung to keep asking until I said something she wanted to hear. Finally, I saud something like "I don't like."  Well, LeadingEdge AND their clIents don't have to give a reason to remove a temp from a job. I have that same right without punitive results. Oh and by the way THIS is the nature of their business.....CHANGES. Besides they should want their employees to be comfortable and be in a situation that is conducive to success. Lastly, there was an issue with my last paycheck that I called twice and emailed twice about with NO reply. I took initiative to get the pay I ALREADY EARNED and I was treated AGAIN as if I was out of line. LeadingEdge's behavior was unacceptable. Oh! One more thing, this is weird: one time there apparently some mis/cross communication bewtween recruiters about a possible job for me & one recruiter started asking me detailed questions about what the other said to me. At first it wasn't odd but she delved too deep as if there was more and sounded suspicious. She literally let out a "hhmmff" and expressed disappointment (in the other recruiter). I do not need to be exposed to her animosity towards her coworkers.  It seems that client was a challenge or LE couldn't keep up with the workorders.

A friend of mine told me about how amazing Leading Edge is and I went in to give it a shot and she was right. I became a temp right away and now have a full time job with a wonderful company. Leading Edge was my saving grace when I so desperately needed one. The management is great, specifically Maritsa. Very friendly- I didn't want to stop talking to her. The CEO is very hands on and wants to make sure your experience is comfortable. He came out of his office and offered refreshments and small talk. You will get offered free cookies and popcorn at least 10 times. They want you to feel at home, appreciated and special. No one is out to get you here. They genuinely want you to get placed in jobs and try to find a place for everyone by identifying the good in everyone. I read some of the "bad" reviews and it looks more like people that have bad sportsmanship that didn't meet the qualifications. That's also why I like this temp firm, they actually do have at least a little bit of standards for their temps, which is another reason why the best job opportunities are offered here. Unlike a lot of agencies I've tried with stereotypical temp work, this one actually has real jobs for the temps.  They are known for having the best temps for a reason. When I was waiting to get interviewed, a girl walked in wearing literally pajamas... pajamas! Ignore the bad reviews because pajama girl is probably the one writing them. You won't find a better temp agency, that's 100% certain. Before working here I had an apartment, and now I have a house. Thank you Leading Edge!

Leading Edge Personnel is a great staffing agency. The more you work with them the more they do for you. It is one of the better work relationships I've had since moving to San Antonio. They are quick to give you assignments and to work with your time schedules. Very quick to return phone calls and reply to emails, which is a plus for how busy they usually are. Each assignment I've had with them has always been a great workplace, safe, well-mannered staff, and appreciative supervisors. 

I will have to say the hardest part of the job is being a temporary employee. If that doesn't bother you then working for them is great. But I prefer become part of a team. Moving from assignment to assignment is exciting, but can leave you with the feeling of being a little distant. Which, ironically, the best part of the job is just the same. Each assignment is at a new workplace with new experiences. 

For now, I greatly enjoy working for them and until I get a permanent job I plan to stay with them till then.

I didn't work here. This is a temp agency and I applied to a position. They called me right away and set up an "interview". It was really a chance for them to get me to fill out paperwork, which I felt weird about giving them my personal information, but I wanted the position. They took over half an hour to get to me even though I was on time for my appointment. I almost walked out. A recruiter spent less than 10 minutes basically reiterating my resume. And when they wanted me to sit through a company video, I declined and left.
They never got back to me about the position until I emailed to ask if the position was still open since it was no longer on their website. THEN they told me, oh yeah, guess the company filled the position.
That day, I inquired about another position on their website and they never responded.
What a joke and a waste of my time. I sincerely hope they shred my information.

After being looked over for several office or administrative positions after graduation with BA in Business Admin, I caved and went to temp agency for help with job placement.
Agency found a great corporate job for a major eye wear company.
Loved the job, knew I had to start from somewhere and make myself known. Completed every task assigned and learned that efficiency was not always the order of the day. Received many accolades from the inventory management department. This was a great experience until....

I wanted to become permanent member of the team, six weeks in and I ask the director, who informs me there is no room in the budget for a place on this team, however HR could find a place for you.

Met with HR, five days of work turned to three then to one, my boss and that department had nothing to do with it....but I picked myself up and moved on

First of all, I have a college degree. I got one administrative assistant job with a boss that was so difficult to work with, that she could not keep anyone there. They went through help like toilet paper. She was constantly micromanaging me to the point where I couldn't get anything done. I feel she did this to everyone who worked there. The manager at Leading Edge offered me zero support, and was very condescending whenever I spoke to her. Both of my jobs were ridiculous and unmanageable. The second one was for another miserable boss. The first day the guy I was supposed to be assisting had a meltdown. He said it was too much work for anybody, and he was having health problems as a result right before he walked out. This was my first red flag. I was given way too much work to do with zero support.

LeadingEdge Personnel provided me the opportunity to work flexible hours that accommodated the needs at the time. I learned how to properly file, assist in any task- big or small, and became more efficient at the front desk. Since it is specifically targeted towards administrative/clerical work, a typical day consisted of, organizing, receiving calls, providing assistance in accounting, and occasional filing. The workplace has always been pleasant, amicable, and dedicated. For me, the hardest part of the job was constantly being assigned to new companies, having to say goodbye, and adjusting to different systems and organizational preferences. However, that was also the highlight, because it allowed me to consistently be mentally prepared for anything.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team is very supportive and responsive when I am asking questions or seeking information about a particular position.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At times, they may not know when an assignment is ending. 
You will have to inform them since you're at that office and in direct contact with the supervisor.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I don't work at that office, so I am unable to give a fair answer

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
N/A - I don't work directly with the staff at that office.

Working with the ladies at Leadingedge is truly a pleasure.  They are very professional and are always available for any questions or comments I may have.  They keep me busy and seem to have a wide range of employers they service, therefore, jobs come regularly.  I had signed up with another temp agency and received no job assignments or follow-up at all.  Leadingedge is very organized and it seems they really have a lot of knowledge regarding how to keep their employers happy and their temp workers happy.  I have recommended them to people in the past and will continue to do so.

Small company with no room for advancement  If you like an environment that is fun but can also get uncomfortable with employees making fun of applicants from dress to interview answers, then this is the place for you.  

Job is very autonomous and ambiguous at times.  When you ask for help, it is talked about but rarely implemented.  You really have to take ownership to get this changed

Outside Sales role is an entry level role and the pay is as well
